I've never tried to use ptrace-read to read secrets from a running process's memory so I can't comment on that part.
I had always assumed getting secrets from a running process' memory was non-trivial and/or required root permissions but maybe that's a bad assumption.
However, reading a process' environment is as trivial as:
`cat /proc/123456/environ`
as long as it's ran by the same user. No ptrace-read required.
